Flower Market Reports 



Despite the telephone 

 BOSTON tie-up and the day before 



Easter a holiday in Bos- 

 ton, the wholesalers all agree that 

 Easter business far exceeded last 

 year, when reports showed a wonder- 

 ful business. Shipping trade began 

 early in the week and vast quantities 

 of stock were moved. The plant trade 

 was unusually brisk. The few potted 

 lilies in the market were not up to 

 usual standard and the public under- 

 standing the shortage were satisfied 

 to substitute with a wonderful variety 

 to choose from, — rambler roses, bou- 

 gainvilleas, hydrangeas, azaleas, tu- 

 lips, narcissi, hyacinths, rhododen- 

 drons, lilacs, heathers, etc. There 

 were plenty of cut flowers and every- 

 thing sold at good prices. 



The condition of the market three 

 days after Easter presents a big sup- 

 ply of stock. The usual reaction after 

 a holiday set in and prices have 

 dropped on everything. American 

 Beauties and Russells are particular- 

 ly fine, and in big consignments. There 

 are plenty of Killarney, Radiance, 

 Ward and Ophelia roses at this writ- 

 ing. Carnations, callas, daffodils and 

 sweet peas are also plentiful. 



THE VERY NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING WEEDS, 



GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, COTTERS, 



TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This fluid destroys weeds and other growth wherever applied, and lt» effect on 

 the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year and thus saves a great 

 deal of time and labor, as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away of the weeds is 

 required. , , 



We manufacture the strongest line of DISINFECTANTS on the market.

As an after word 

 PHILADELPHIA to our last week's 



Easter report all 

 the earlier indications of a big demand 

 and short supplies were fully borne 

 out. By noon on Friday orders from 

 the South and West were being turned 

 down right and left and by Saturday 

 night there was hardly an item at all 

 salable but what was cleaned up. 

 About the only item to be seen Mon- 

 day morning among the left-overs was 

 our old stand-by the Easter lily. 

 Thirty-five cents a flower, asked, was 

 certainly an atrocious price and it is 

 no wonder a good many were left. 

 These of course were not very good 

 and probably went to the waste 

 basket. One of the scarcest items was 

 the carnation. It soared in many 

 cases to as high as fifteen cents. In 

 roses the supply was more equal to 

 the demand and although they brought 

 good prices there was no great howl 

 among the buyers in that connection 

 and everybody seemed to be well satis- 

 fied. Sweet peas were in splendid 

 form and plentiful. What the medium 

 priced stores would have done without 

 loads of these is hard to say. Cattleyas 

 were scarcer even than expected and 

 good flowers were hard to get even at 

 one fifty. Taking it all in all — one of 

 the best Easters on record. 



Easter business from 

 ST LOUIS reports was appreciat- 

 ed by all branches of 

 the trade, growers, wholesalers and re- 

 tailers. Carnations and roses were ab- 

 solutely scarce and commanded high 

 prices. Sweet peas came in by the 

 thousands but were quickly sold out. 

 A few violets brought fair prices. Lil- 

 ies were scarce. All good plants sold, 

 also cut flower stock; anything of good 

 quality showed demand. 



Easter business 

 CINCINNATI came up to expecta- 

 tions, and as a re- 

 sult everything in the market sold 

 readily. A great deal more stock 

 would have sold if we had had it. 

 Roses were only fairly plentiful and 

 ran short; carnations too ran short of 

 actual needs; sweet peas, however, 

 were in a good supply, still more of 

 them could have been used if we had 

 had them. All Easter lilies, callas 

 and rubrum lilies cleaned up quickly 

 and receipts in these lines were far 

 from an amount sufficient to take care 

 of all demands for them. Bulbous 

 stock proved a negligible quantity; 

 other offerings were: orchids, lily of 

 the valley, snapdragon, pansies, wall- 

 flower, mignonette and forget-me-not
